[edit] Plot summary
Vianne, a woman who has seen her share of pain, moves in with her 68 year-old grandmother, Madea, in order to escape her verbally abusive husband. Soon after her departure, she is hit with divorce papers.
When Madea becomes sick, the family comes to her rescue,Cora-Madea's daughter also Vianne's younger sister, Maylee, who also comes to visit her child Keesha that Madea "has been watching" for six months. However, Maylee casually strolls in and announces that she is getting married to Vianne's ex-husband.
After an explosive argument at the dinner table, Vianne realizes that she has to let this man go. Even though they are divorced, he still has her in his heart. No sooner than she lets him go, she realizes that her hurt has consumed most of her life and she needs to change.
Bobby, a hired handyman (and boarder) lives with the grandmother, and he immediately makes it known that he is interested in Vianne. Much to their reluctance, they start to spend time together and they realize, even though she was once a rich suburban housewife and he, a lowly gardener and ex-convict, that when "it's right, it's right". Although grandma Madea has a few things to say about their budding relationship, including "You Can Do Bad All By Yourself", she eventually encourages it.
Later, a shocking family secret is revealed which allows Vianne and Maylee to come to terms with their family's dark past. Only then are they able to forgive one another and move on with their lives.
